Photos. Time to scan all those photos that’ve been collecting dust in the basement, closet, and attic. This sounds easy—and it is—but it will take time, even with Joshua’s easy-to-use scanner. So, to make it a little more fun, we decided to throw a Photo-Scanning Party.

Music & Movies. Why do we all hold on to so many CDs and DVDs when we can watch virtually anything now with the click of a button? Regarding the music we want to “keep”: let’s transfer it all to the computer, which we can then store in the cloud (The Minimalists use Dropbox, but you can use whatever cloud-based software you prefer). Once our music and movies are safely stored, let’s donate or sell the remaining CDs and DVDs. You have permission to let go.

Documents. Take a look at your documents. Do you need all of them? Chances are you don’t, but you can scan the ones you truly need. Scan them, shred them, and move on.
